Greets -

Anybody know of an easy place to tie into the (dimming) gauge illumination circuit, preferably somewhere near the fuse panel? I'm installing some gauges directly above, on the A-Pillar. The wiring diagrams in the FSM show 5 or 6 such circuits tied into the 'junction block', which I assume is the back side of the fuse panel?

I know plenty of folks have hooked up gauges, and someone has gotta know of an easy way to hook up the lighting.

Thanks
Doug

I'm in the exact same boat. Anyone have any good info on this?

Seeing as you will be laying cables to the gauges within the cover on the A pillar....I would connect the gauge lights directly to where the dimming circuitry goes into the cluster itself.
I only have the circuit diagrams for the 2002/3 KJs but you can get newer diagrams I believe in Sams Noob Guide.

On the 2002/3 KJ, there is an Orange wire going into the cluster connector at pin 12....this has the varying dimming voltage on it. Ground is on pin 1 at the cluster and is a Black/Light Green wire. Splice into these two wires to connect the new globes in parralel.

There is a remote chance you may have to upgrade the fuse rating of this circuit...depends on how many gauges you are adding.
